Robocop1051 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Did anyone see this episode? Did you hear the $10k price tag he put on the AR10 with a few JP and Magpul parts and a mediocre paint job? How do I get into this business? If I gave someone $10k for a competition rifle, and he handed me that rifle, I hope he saved some of that money for his upcoming dental bill.Tell Niki Jones, from the TX women's shooting team "Sure Shots", to call me. I'll charge her half that, and give her twice as much rifle. I hate to see people taken advantage of. I truly hope that price tag was for TV purposes, and that the real price was MUCH lower.

Robocop1051 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Here's a breakdown from what I can see (aside from the AR10 itself). What I also saw was an 18" stainless barrel with a Cooley muzzle brake on the end... Probably also a JP Rifle product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telluwhat Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I saw that and almost fell out o my chair. Talk about markup. It had to be for TV but it sure is deceptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunjunkie Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 How much of that price was the grenade launcher though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineralman55 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Watched the show a few times. It leaves me cold. There are better things to do (clean the coils on the 'fridge, get a root canal.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 How much of that price was the grenade launcher though?Spike's Tactical ST 12" 37mm Launcher$299.95The 37mm STZ-Havoc Flare Launcher features the latest in design and manufacturing technology.

KyleTx Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Where do you get ammo to feed it? <dontknow>http://www.americanspecialtyammo.com/37_mm.htmlI guess you can shoot some targets with the AR and then shoot off some fireworks <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telluwhat Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Interesting that the show called it a grenade launcher and had stuff blow up (if I am remembering right) but it is a flare launcher that also does fireworks. Either way it would be cool to have. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 They launched a flare on the show. The 37mm does not fire explosive rounds. Only the 40mm is explosive. You can get "Dragon's Breath" type shells for it. Additionally, if you register it as an AOW, you can get a 12 gauge adaptor for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telluwhat Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 The first season was more interesting. Now they appear to be copying things from "Sons of Guns" aka Red Jacket Firearms. That is a good show most times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IM_JOHNNYV Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Makes me wonder what Armalite has to say about this episode. Nothing bad to say about AR308's, but this was billed as an AR10 and it was an AR308. I think they need some schooling on what they put on the airwaves before they claim their "professionalism".......Just my 2¢.........

They may like the free "advertising" but be upset with the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
